| God’s Holiness By Billy Graham “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” —Isaiah 6:3, NKJV The Bible teaches that God is absolutely holy and pure. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as so holy He cannot even look on sin. Christ cried from the Cross, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Mark 15:34). What a horrible moment, as the blackness of human sin—now laid upon Christ—caused the Father to turn away in disgust. In that moment Jesus endured the ultimate punishment for our sins—the punishment of being banished from the presence of His Father on our behalf. If you were asked to list the things you are thankful for, what would you include? Perhaps your family, health, friends, church—and those wouldn’t be wrong. We should be grateful for every gift God gives us. But the greatest gift of all is the gift of His Son, who endured the penalty we deserved for our sin so we could be reconciled to a holy God. Never take that gift for granted! “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15).  Hope for TodayPrior to His death on the Cross, Jesus never knew a single moment without the Father’s presence. The most painful thing Jesus endured was sin’s penalty of separation from the Father so that we would never have to experience it. | ||
